#DOTHERIDE

THE RIDE, powered by
Mattamy Homes, is ten years strong! Together our community has surpassed $13
million for world- first research at The Ottawa Hospital.

2019 will be an exceptional year as we
celebrate the 10th anniversary of THE RIDE! When you DO THE RIDE,
you’ll take health care in Ottawa to new heights and you’ll continue to make
The Ottawa Hospital shine as a world leader!

Why DO you RIDE?

Together, we RIDE for all the mothers, fathers,
sisters and brothers who are faced with devastating diseases.

We DO THE RIDE to provide the tools needed to find new
treatment options and cures to some of the most complex healthcare issues.

We DO THE RIDE to support the
world-class research taking place right here at The Ottawa Hospital. It 100% will change the lives of patients who
desperately need our help.

Featured Riders

Curt Harnett, Canadian, cycling Olympian

Yves Néron, #youarenotalone team member, who lost his brother to colon cancer at age 40

I’m riding for those who need all the help in the world
I’m riding for those who have been diagnosed,
Who are still on their journey,
Who need all the help in the world,
All the treatments available.
And after THE RIDE there’s burgers and hotdogs, so it’s pretty awesome.

Marcel Néron, #youarenotalone team captain, who lost son to colon cancer

Mike Runia, Captain, Team Deloitte

I'm riding for my colleagues. When you're working for a large company, inevitably someone will be diagnosed with cancer or another devastating disease, but we can find cures and treatments if we each do our part. This is why I RIDE.

Megan Racicot, cancer survivor, diagnosed at just 17 years of age

Marta Néron, #youarenotalone team member, her husband Alex, passed away at age 40 from colon cancer

I'm riding so no one has to say goodbye. I'm riding for those yet to be diagnosed, those still battling, for their friends, for their family. In the hopes that one day, no one will have to say goodbye to their person.

Dr. Mark Clemons, Medical oncologist, The Ottawa Hospital

I'm riding for my patients. Some of my patients have a tough road ahead but yet they face each day with determination and a smile on their face. Having sore legs and a bruised ego is the small price I pay to raise money to help us search for cures. That's why I RIDE.
